SUMMARY:The Road to Top Colleges: What Students Should Be Doing Each Year of High School
DESCRIPTION:The road to a top college does not begin when a student opens an application during senior year. It begins much earlier—with the academic choices\, classroom habits\, relationships\, interests\, and experiences students develop throughout high school. Join **The Serica Initiative** and **AtomicMind** for a timely back-to-school webinar offering students and families a practical\, year-by-year roadmap from freshman year through senior year. Led by **Leelila Strogov\, Founder and CEO of AtomicMind**\, alongside members of the AtomicMind team\, this program will examine what students can do at each stage of high school to become stronger learners\, make a meaningful impression on teachers\, and develop the skills and experiences that selective colleges value. \nTopics will include: \n• What students should prioritize during each year of high school\n• How to begin the school year with strong academic and organizational habits • How students can participate authentically and leave a positive impression in the classroom\n• Building meaningful relationships with teachers\, counselors\, and mentors\n• Understanding weighted and unweighted GPA\n• How grading systems and course rigor vary among high schools\n• How colleges evaluate grades within the context of a student’s school\n• Choosing among AP\, IB\, honors\, and other advanced courses\n• Developing intellectual curiosity\, leadership\, and meaningful extracurricular interests\n• Common mistakes students and families should avoid \nThe AtomicMind team will also present two detailed student case studies—one featuring a female student and one featuring a male student. Attendees will follow each student’s journey through all four years of high school\, examining the choices they made\, the challenges they encountered\, how their interests developed\, and the eventual college admissions outcomes.

SUMMARY:Love’s Last Letter: An Immersive Exhibition of Six Lost Letters

SUMMARY:Live Jazz Night\, Jinju Kim Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, August 30\, for an exceptional live jazz performance at NOFLEX. This special Live Jazz Night features the New York-based Jinju Kim Quartet\, led by a rising star from South Korea\, in collaboration with world-renowned guitar maestro Pasquale Grasso. \n​Jinju Kim is a captivating jazz singer who grew up listening to everything from classical music to 50s jazz standards and old pop. Falling in love with legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan\, she went to the Netherlands to study jazz at the Prince Claus Conservatoire. Later\, she was selected for the master’s program at the prestigious Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College by David Berkman. Since moving to New York in the fall of 2024\, she has been making a name for herself in the local jazz scene\, playing with talented young musicians and top masters alike. \n​This performance marks a special collaboration with guitar maestro Pasquale Grasso. Based in New York\, Grasso plays with such extraordinary command that jazz legend Pat Metheny called him “the best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life.” He brings the clear and upbeat improvisation of the great bebop tradition—like Bud Powell and Charlie Parker—right to the stage with a modern touch. Joining them are two of New York’s finest: bassist Ari Roland and drummer Keith Balla. \n​Join us at NOFLEX to experience the deep roots and fresh energy of New York jazz. The night will feature two intimate 45-minute sets\, with 7 to 8 songs per set. We’ll also be serving a fantastic craft cocktail program and a delicious food menu to pair perfectly with the music\, making for a truly immersive and unforgettable evening. \nJinju Kim Quartet\n· Vocal — Jinju Kim @jinju_jinju\n· Guitar — Pasquale Grasso @pasqualegrassomusic\n· Drums — Keith Balla\n· Bass — Ari Roland \n· Sunday\, August 30\n· Doors open 6PM\n· First set 7PM / Second set 8PM\n· NOFLEX NYC | 286 5th Ave\, New York\, NY 10001
